Dan Gill, was brought up not to far from where I live. He was asked to do a favor one day for a friend, up & coming Irish Rapper (A2C) to shoot a video for a college project. Dan has always had a passion for cameras, and agreed to help out his friend. Shortly after the video was put out there Dan was asked to shoot a video for a lady by the name of Kim Marie, to shoot a rap battle. A rap battle is where more than two rap, and or hip hop artists go against each other and rap free styling.

Kim is no stranger when it comes to the Irish Hip hop scene. Dan did the video as a favor and before long other favors were been asked to shoot various video shoots, and or projects. In fact if one was to put a number of video’s that Dan, had helped over the last 4 or so years, we would be here till next Christmas, so instead here is a collection, that I randomly selected out of a list Dan gave me.
